OBAMA REGIME scrubs major attack on the Islamic State (ISIS) in Mosul indefinitely

Just days ago, the generals were trumpeting plans to knock Islamic State (ISIS) savages out of Mosul, its most important stronghold in Iraq, in the next few weeks. Now, those plans are on indefinite hold. Fall is more realistic. But even that date is tenuous.

The Daily Beast The U.S. military’s goal to retake Iraq’s second largest city from the self-proclaimed Islamic State has been pushed back several months at least, defense officials told The Daily Beast. That’s a major shift for the Pentagon, which recently announced that the first major ground offensive in the war against ISIS could come in the next few weeks.

Defense officials once hoped that Iraqi troops could move into Mosul by the Spring and reclaim the city from ISIS. Now, those officials say, Fall is more realistic. And even that date was tenuous.

“It is an Iraqi decision (sure it is) but we don’t want to do anything until they are ready and can win decisively,” a military official explained to the Daily Beast. “They cannot now.”

It’s another sign that the U.S.-led campaign against ISIS isn’t going nearly as smoothly as the American government had hoped. (There is no campaign, that’s the problem) At the Pentagon Friday, Defense Department spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby shied away from any kind of timeline, saying: “I can’t put a date certain…nor say April is out.”

A group within U.S. government pushed for a Spring offensive out of concern that the next opportunity to launch such a campaign would not be until the Fall. But these policymakers appeared to have been trumped by those fearing that Iraqi forces are nowhere near ready.

The shift away from the Spring began in the last few days, in part because officials could not agree publicly about whether the Iraqi forces would be ready for the fight. Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart told the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday that it would be “six to nine months, best estimate,” before Iraqi forces could be able to launch a major counteroffensive against ISIS.

“When we talk about the six to nine months additional training, it is to deal with an urban fight, which is very, very different, very complex, requires a great deal of skill, great deal of precision to be successful,” Stewart said. (I guess the fact we have been training the Iraqi Army in urban warfare for at least 8 years already is irrelevant?)

Earlier this month, a U.S. Central Command official gave a briefing to reporters saying that Iraqi forces could be ready by April or May to launch an offensive to take back the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS, where the group is entrenched. ISIS has controlled Mosul since June, when Iraqi troops fled their posts as ISIS forces stormed the city.

The proposed offensive would take as many as 25,000 troops assigned to at least eight Iraqi brigades, the CENTCOM official said on the condition of anonymity. The forces would seek to root out 2,000 ISIS fighters, he added. U.S. forces would support that campaign by the air, but the CENTCOM official did not offer any specifics.

There were sectarian considerations, as well. The Iraqi divisions who would likely lead such a campaign are majority Shiite forces; Mosul is a Sunni-dominated town and such sectarian delineations are important to all involved. Many worried that Sunnis in both Iraq and the broader Arab world would not accept a Shiite-dominated military force leading the campaign.

Still others were angry that the U.S. military decided to telegraph the mission and the details of it. Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham blasted the announcement in a letterto President Obama, calling the disclosure a risk to “the success of our mission, but could also cost the lives of U.S., Iraqi, and coalition forces.” (McCain can’t seem to decide which side he’s on)

But have no fear, the State Department has a TWITTER hashtag offensive in motion:

People correctly asked, why plan an attack and tell the enemy when it’s going to happen ?
The attack might as well be scrubbed since the little numfutz already told the world about it.
What a klutzy Schlemiel, he is ! He could skrew up a rock so that it no longer works !

Let’s face facts, obama will do nothing. I read an article by Walid Shoebat, that explained obama’s agenda. It is NOT socialist, it is islamic.(the two systems hace much in common). Senator McCain is, and always has been a dolt. The ’08 election was his for the taking, but his timid, cowardly behavior, and the fact that he acted like he didn’t want to be President, turned off so many people, I am suprized the snivelling lout, got as many votes as he did. We have cowards in the Congress, islamists in the WH, and an uneducated populace who are too lazy to even try to find the truth. The muhanimals are not going away. Their god, is the god of force. We could crush those blood bent, muhanimal, shit hooks, in a week!!! But when you have the idiots we have running the country, nothing will be done. Now obama is trying to ban ammo, he doesn’t want the American people able to defend themselves. Very pissed. Wake up people or these asslifters will chop off your fool heads!!!!

Although I am not a fan of Obama, in all fairness I must clarify that he is not the main culprit because the US no longer has the resources to fight such a diffuse guerrilla war all over the world: just like Vietnam, this long term war has depleted our energy, our blood and treasure. The 9/11 attack of Osama bin Laden was the biggest and most successful trap in history calculated to weaken us, and we walked right into that trap without making any long term plans. As a result, we are exhausted.

But the main reason the West is so weak is because of the dependence on oil imports from the Middle East. In order to maintain good relations with OPEC, the US and EU 1) cannot use effective but politically incorrect military force, 2) cannot limit immigration, and 3) cannot prevent Jihad schools from operating within our borders. As long as we depend on OPEC oil, these three conditions 1), 2) and 3) will remain in force and we will not win. However, if the US and EU get together and launch the equivalent of Manhattan Project, this would cost less than half the money we lost in ineffective military adventures since 9/11. In this case the problem will be solved because the restrictions 1), 2), and 3) will no longer be there.

The good news is that finally some concrete measures are being taken to organize a collective program to gain energy independence in EU, even though the funding is still insufficient:

Of course we were winning the Vietmam war before the politicians got involved, but Vietnam was a much clearer and far more localized war, but as I emphasized above, our dependence on oil imports from OPEC was not a factor in the Vietnam war: the war against Islam is definitely intertwined with dependence on OPEC oil that is our Achilles’ heel. Remember the Arab oil embargo after the 1973 war in the Middle East, when even Saudi Arabia stopped selling oil to the US just because Nixon saved Israel when Israel was running out of ammunition.

Separately, when I previously said that the economic cost of the current war against Islam is so far $2 trillion, this was just the CONSERVATIVE estimate! According to more recent calculations the current total cost (so far) of the war since 9/11 is at least $4 trillion and possibly $6 trillion if we include the long term medical care that the traumatized veterans need.
Here is the article:

However, for much less than the economic cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would have been enough to attain full energy independence had we started a major research program for energy in October 2001. Without OPEC, not only we would have easily defeated Islam, but a lot less of our soldiers would have been killed and traumatized.

In summary, the entire war strategy of the rising Islamic Empire depends on the oil dependence of EU, US, China and Japan.

What has “exhausted us” is not our military expenditures but those we have made to those who can not nor will not work. The worst that Obama and company have done to our country is the destruction of our economy but that could be corrected quite quickly just by getting rid of Obama and the Democrats in congress because they know that they need a permanent underclass to keep them in office. FDR all over again.
The president who announces that we no longer have the money to fund welfare programs and that it has made slaves of those have paid the taxes to do – so there will be no more welfare, period, and if you don’t find work – well, you know what will happen will save the country.

Above Top Secret:
Let’s ask ourselves who is at fault lately for our inability to wage war ?
Who is the putz that forces rules of engagement on our troops ?
Who is the traitor that prosecutes our soldiers for killing he enemy ?
Who is it that forces our combat experienced leaders into retirement while making excuses for the enemy ?

When did I say that Obama is doing a good job? I only emphasized that regardless of who is in power in the US, if our dependence on OPEC oil continues, the war will remain as unwinnable as before. Bush was as unsuccessful as Obama, precisely because of OPEC oil. The only area Obama is worse than Bush is his lack of sympathy for Israel. But as I said before, if we start a major research program for energy dependence, this will solve the problem of Islam. The cost will be at least $1, but it is still very affordable if we compare it to the blood and treasure that we have already lost since 9/11.

Well, they woke up and realized that their plans to attack were jeopardized by they strategic blunder. However, the pig is already out of the bag and ISIS will now have months to prepare for the attack and continue to commit their atrocious acts. Well done Obama! Logic is obviously not your forte.

I would bet that there will be no actual campaign to defeat ISIS until the next president or until the American people have had it to their throat with obama and the democrats and dispose of both violently – which may HAVE to happen. All evidence points to ISIS being set up by Obama and Edogen to rid themselves of Assad and the Shite dominated Iraq. I am sure Obama does not want it hindered or destroyed. So to destroy it, he will have to be destroyed. Coup d’etat, anyone?

In My Personal Opinion: Our Obvious “Islam, Muslim, Pandering, Sympathizing”, and “Anti-Constitution, Anti-Christian” Imperial Obama, was an Original Muslim Plan, to get a Muslim “Plant” into America’s White House.

However, it hasn’t gone as quickly, or as smoothly, as the Islamists had Planned, because the American People very quickly caught on to his “Scheme”, and ARE fortunately Resisting.

With NO thanks to the American Broadcast News Media, but with MUCH thanks to the Internet News Media, and Web Sites.

Yes, Obama IS doing some “Pinprick” Air Strikes, in a “Feeble” attempt to “Pacify” the American People, into “Falsely” believing that he IS doing “Something”, but while still NOT doing much damage to his Islamist “Friends”.

THAT however IS why the Muslims still hate their “Friend” Obama, because he “Foiled” their plans, through the American People’s alert Diligence, and now isn’t doing enough, fast enough, to turn America into an Islamic “Caliphate”, ruled by Sharia Law, with Islam’s “Holy Book”, the Qur’an, Repalacing the Christian’s Holy Book the Bible, and Islams “Prophet” Mohammed replacing Jesus Christ – as the Islamists had originally planned for and hoped for.
